Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. No Jacket. First Edition. Paris: A. And W. Galignani, 1829. Dublin-born, and not wealthy, Lady Sidney Owenson Morgan (1776 to 1781-1859) was one of the most interesting literary figures of her time, both wildly popular ("The Wild Irish Girl," 1806) and well-criticized. She had her revenge; her critics sometimes became rather nasty characters in her novels. Cagey about her exact age, contemporary portraits reveal her to be a great beauty of the day. She was perhaps a social climber; if so, she was rather good at it. This is a Near Fine copy of the First Edition. A scarce book; most copies seen are two separate volumes. Although published in Paris, the book is in written in English; her "To the Reader" makes clear that the book is intended as light reading such as might be found in a lady's boudoir, and was published through her publisher's entreaty. Perhaps he knew his market! Clean text; 268 pages. Extremely bright and clear; Quercus believes the paper has been conserved, probably at the time it was rebound in an ochre color with gilt lettering. Size: 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/No Jacket. …

Couverture rigide. Zustand: Bon. 2 vol., XIV-346 + [4]-478 pp. Paris et Londres, chez Treuttel et Würtz [de l'imprimerie de Crapelet], 1818, in-8, 2 vol, XIV-346 + [4]-478 pp, Demi-basane bleu nuit, dos lisses ornés de fers romantiques [Ducay], Troisième édition française, due à Philippe Alexandre Lebrun de Charmettes, du compte-rendu de la romancière irlandaise Sydney Owenson, dit Lady Morgan (1776-1859), sur la société et la culture françaises à l'époque de la Restauration. L'auteur rédigea l'ouvrage à l'issue d'un séjour de 5 mois, qu'elle passa presque essentiellement à Paris, au cours duquel elle se consacra à l'observation et à l'enquête. Son travail, publié pour la première fois à Londres en 1817, contient des réflexions sur les paysans, le théâtre ou encore les écrivains. La presse française lui reprocha de porter la marque de son engament politique : l'écrivaine s'est en effet efforcée de démontrer les bienfaits de la Révolution de 1789 et de souligner, en contrepartie, les maux et les injustices qui ont été restaurés en même temps que la monarchie. Le second volume s'achève sur trois appendices écrits par son mari, Thomas Charles Morgan, sur la législation, les finances et la médecine en France. Ex-libris de Jean Rouché. Dos insolés. Bon état intérieur, malgré quelques rousseurs éparses. Quérard VI, p. 315.…

4 voll. in-8°, pp. (6), 415; (6), 412 [le pp. 413-416, di indice, sono anteposte in principio del volume); (4), 439; (4), 503; legatura coeva mezza pelle marrone e angoli con titolo in oro su tassello rosso ai dorsi, adorni anche di tomaisons e di fregi dorati. Piatti in marmorizzatura caillouté policroma. Bellissimo esemplare. Prima edizione francese, contemporanea all'originale inglese, di questa celebre e vivida relazione di viaggio in Italia nel biennio 1819-1820, letta ed apprezzata, fra gli altri, dallo stesso Byron. "Le descrizioni si seguono da Nord a Sud, iniziando dal Moncenisio per arrivare a Napoli (Piemonte, Lombardia, Genova, Emilia-Romagna, Toscana, Roma, Napoli). Il ritorno passa rapidamente da Tolentino, Ancona, San Marino, Faenza, Padova fino a Venezia alla quale è dedicato l'ultimo capitolo" (Olschki). L'opera è improntata ad illuminate idee liberali e polemizza aspramente con la Chiesa e con le vessazioni che si verificavano ai danni della popolazioni in molti degli stati in cui era frammentata un Italia ancora non unificata. Profondamente sensibile alle questioni sociali, Lady Morgan denuncia lo stato di povertà e di sfruttamento in cui giaceva molta parte della popolazione italiana. In ragione di queste requisitorie la lettura e la pubblicazione del libro venne interdetta nello Stato della Chiesa. Sidney Owenson, in seguito Sidney Morgan (al confine tra Gran Bretagna ed Irlanda, 1776-Londra, 1859) fu una romanziera irlandese assai nota nella prima metà del XIX secolo nei paesi anglofoni. Pine-Coffin, 819/14: "Standard tour. With appendices on law, medicine, etc. Lady Morgan's Italy was at once one of the most comprehensive and most controversial works on Italy published at this time.". A testimonianza della controversa accoglienza ricevuta da quest'opera alcuni critici preferirono non commentare, altri la accolsero con entusiasmo. Byron così si espresse: "a really excellent book". Olschki, I, 470.…

Diffuse arrossature del testo per la qualità della carta. (6264) Versione francese, a cura di M.lle Saubry, apparsa nello stesso anno dell'originale inglese, di quest'opera che suscitò molti echi polemici nell'opinione pubblica italiana per la sua libertà di giudizio sulle condizioni dell'Italia dopo la Restaurazione. Lady Morgan, nata Owenson (1780-1859), scrittrice prolifica, figura peculiare di donna letterata e spirito libero, originaria di Dublino, ebbe dal suo editore la proposta di scrivere un libro sull'Italia come già aveva fatto per la Francia, e ricevette un compenso di £2.000. Soggiornò in Italia tra il 1819 ed il 1820, frequentando il mondo colto ma restando attenta osservatrice anche dei costumi popolari. Il suo libro è una serrata denuncia, soprattutto per quanto riguarda gli Stati Sabaudi ed il Lombardo-Veneto, del clima opprimente dei primi anni della Restaurazione e del tentativo di riportare indietro la ruota della storia addirittura al periodo antecedente l'età delle riforme settecentesche e all'Ancien régime, con riferimenti puntuali anche alla legislazione, ma soprattutto all'oppressione culturale che si respirava nella Milano dell'epoca, pur senza rimpianti per la dominazione francese; la Lombardia le sembra una grande prigione, in mano ad una burocrazia rozza e militaresca. Le considerazioni sulle donne milanesi, tenute in soggezione e nell'ignoranza anche nella buona società, suscitarono molte ire e risposte polemiche. I primi due voll. sono dedicati al Piemonte, alla Lombardia, a Genova e alla Liguria, a Bologna e alla Toscana; gli altri due soprattutto a Roma, Napoli e Venezia. Tra le appendici è da segnalare la prima, De l'état de la médécine en Italie, e la seconda, Agricultures de la Lombardie. Non mancano poi in tutta l'opera anche considerazioni sulle condizioni economiche, le istituzioni culturali, le biblioteche, i teatri, i libri e le pubblicazioni più diffuse. L'opera di Lady Morgan, così critica su tanti aspetti, contribuì comunque a "fare opinione" e ad innescare reazioni positive nell'Italia risorgimentale. Il libro denunciava anche la complicità della Gran Bretagna nella situazione politica dell'Italia della Restaurazione, e fu assai lodato, tra gli altri, anche da Lord Byron.

In-4 de XV-252-248-CXV pp., demi-maroquin rouge à grains longs, dos à nerfs, entièrement non rogné (Champs). Édition originale de cette étude élaborée de la France sous la Restauration des Bourbons, l'un des livres de voyage les plus populaires et les plus controversés de l'époque, rédigée par Sydney Owenson, Lady Morgan (1778 ? 1859), romancière irlandaise connue pour The Wild Irish Girl (1806).« La représentation sans détour par Lady Morgan des réformes révolutionnaires comme salutaires à la société française rencontra une opposition féroce dans le climat post-révolutionnaire, à la fois au Royaume-Uni de la part de la Quarterly Review contre les réformistes, et à Paris de la part des royalistes de la Restauration, lui valant un ordre symbolique du gouvernement français contre son retour en France » (British Travel Writing). L'attaque de la Quarterly Review, dont John Wilson Croker accusa Lady Morgan de jacobinisme, de mensonge, de licence et d'impiété, figura parmi les plus virulentes de la presse tory de la période.Parmi les réponses suscitées : une attaque de son propre traducteur, Defauconpret, Observations sur l'ouvrage intitulé : La France ; par Lady Morgan (1817) ; et une réfutation point par point par William Playfair, France As It Is, Not Lady Morgan's France (1818). Lady Morgan répondit indirectement dans son roman Florence McCarthy (1818), où un rédacteur de la Quarterly Review est ridiculisé. Ces polémiques assurèrent au livre quatre éditions londoniennes en 1818, ainsi que trois à Paris et trois aux États-Unis.
